XScreenSaver a screen saver and locker for the X window system by Jamie Zawinski http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/ To build on Unix: - ./configure - make - make install The `configure' shell script will attempt to figure out which options are appropriate for your system, and will create config.h and the various Makefiles for you. Run `configure --help' to see how to override these choices, or to specify things like the default installation directory. The file `INSTALL' gives a general overview of use of these sorts of configure scripts (those generated by the GNU autoconf system.) The most important hint is probably this: ./configure --with-motif=/opt/Motif --with-xpm=/usr/local To build on VMS, see README.VMS. If you are upgrading from version 2.* to version 3.*, be sure to delete your ~/.xscreensaver file first, if you have one. If you think you've found a bug, please let me know! No bug report is too small. But first, please read the enclosed `README.debugging' file to find out what kind of information would be most helpful to include in your bug report. Getting Started: You can try out xscreensaver like so: xscreensaver & xscreensaver-demo Note: unlike `xlock', xscreensaver has a client-server model: the `xscreensaver' process is a daemon that runs in the background; it is controlled by the foreground `xscreensaver-demo' program. xscreensaver has an extensive manual -- please read it! ============ The xscreensaver daemon waits until the keyboard and mouse have been idle for a period, and then runs a graphics demo chosen at random. The demo is terminated as soon as there is any mouse or keyboard activity (or, in locking mode, when the proper password is typed.) It is trivially easy to add new display modes to xscreensaver: any program which can be invoked in such a way that it draws on the root window of the screen can be used as a screensaver. You just change a config file -- there's no need to recompile or reinstall anything. ============ Along with the xscreensaver daemon itself, this package also includes numerous graphics hacks for use as screensavers. There is nothing magic about these: they are just programs that draw on the root window. More than 120 such programs are included. For details, see the xscreensaver web page, or the enclosed manual pages. The latest version of xscreensaver is always available on the web at http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/. ============ Changes since 3.31: * The image-manipulating hacks (`slidescreen', etc.) can now operate on randomly chosen image files from disk, or on frames captured from the system's video input, instead of (or in addition to) manipulating images of the desktop. * Rewrote `vidwhacker' to use the new image-grabbing mechanism. * Made fading work on TrueColor XFree86 4.x systems. * Fixed a subtle rendering bug in `atlantis' (the fish were inside out!) * Made `atlantis' have a texture simulating light reflections from the surface of the ocean. * Fixed up label placement in `molecule'. * Better color bars in `xteevee'. * Made `install-strip' not try to strip scripts. Changes since 3.30: * Put in more sensible defaults for DPMS, and updated the documentation to reflect the fact that all your DPMS settings are now belong to xscreensaver. * Fixed the `xscreensaver.spec' file so that `--force' is no longer needed. * New versions of `rotzoomer' and `nerverot'. * Fixed an OSF/1 compilation problem in `molecule'. Changes since 3.29: * New hacks, `molecule' `dangerball', and `rotzoomer'. * New version of `gflux'. * Made `gltext' able to display the current time. * Fixed a floating-point-precision problem in `gltext' that sometimes caused horizontal lines to vanish. * Removed the `-window-id' option from the hacks: it never worked right, and was unnecessary. * Made the `starwars' hack use thicker lines, antialias the text, and fade out at the far edge instead of just dropping off. * Fixed an SHM segment leak in `moire'. Changes since 3.28: * Better rendering of the new logo. * New hack, `gltext'. * Added `-planetary' option to `gears', to draw a different kind of gear system. * Made motion and rotation be smoother in `gears', `glplanet', `moebius', `rubik', and `sierpinski3d'. * Improved coloration in `sierpinski3d'. * Made the GL hacks react to window size changes. * Made most of the GL hacks take a -fps option (like `pulsar' did), so you can use them to benchmark your 3D hardware. * Fixed the previous fix to `sonar'. * Minor fix to `nerverot'. Made sonar able to ping hosts on DEC OSF1. * Eliminated a bogus "didn't get enough colors" warning in some of the hacks. Changes since 3.27: * New logo for xscreensaver! * New hacks, `starwars' and `stonerview'. * Made the motion of the bouncing ball in `stairs' be a little less jerky. * Made newly-added screenhacks be added to .xscreensaver automatically: if there are hacks in the app-defaults file that are not also in ~/.xscreensaver, they will be added to the end of the list. * Redid the `Screensaver Options' part of the control panel; xscreensaver now lets you configure your DPMS settings. * Fixed some Makefile problems with non-GL builds. * Fixed detection of MesaGL for version 3.3. * Better workaround to Red Hat 7.0's broken gcc. * Added Sparc Solaris kernel panic to `bsod'. Changes since 3.26: * New hacks: `zoom' and `whirlwindwarp'. * Fixed a free-memory-reference bug in `sonar'. * Better error handling when there are no suitable GL visuals. * Added diagnostic dialog when xscreensaver-demo is unable to launch xscreensaver (e.g., when running as root.) * Fixed a bug that caused screenhack argument changes to be ignored when xscreensaver-demo was running as root (if "root" and "nobody" have different home directories.) * Made the programs default to ":0" if $DISPLAY is unset. * Made the `-verbose' output include information about which server extensions were supported at compile time. * Worked around Red Hat 7.0's broken gcc 2.96. * Updated default delays on the GL hacks to look better on machines with super-fast 3D hardware. * Install `screensaver-properties-capplet' to work around the usual egregious GNOME lossage. Changes since 3.25: * Added "enabled" checkboxes in the list of hacks in xscreensaver-demo (Gtk version only.) * New hacks `hyperball', `xrayswarm', and `gflux'. * New versions of `nerverot', `galaxy', and `hypercube'. * Small fixes to `phosphor', `shadebobs', `xflame', and `sonar'. * Added external helper program `xscreensaver-gl-helper' to figure out which X visual to use for OpenGL programs. * Configure updates for XFree86 4.0, and for BSD. * Made it be more tolerant of bogus /etc/group files. * When installing the PAM config file, first try to just copy an existing "xdm" or "login" config file, so that xscreensaver does authentication in the same way as the rest of the system. Changes since 3.24: * New hack, `nerverot'. * Added BSD kernel panic to `bsod'. * New version of `shadebobs'. * New version of `petri'. * Updated `webcollage' to handle recent Altavista URL format changes; made it search the AP photo gallery. * Revamped command-line options of `sonar' and made it properly handle subnets. * The `bubbles' hack can now trickle up or down the screen. * The `xsublim' hack can now read its text from programs. * Support for GLE version 3 in `extrusion'. * Fixed compilation problems in `maze'. * Fixed a rare crash in `flow'. * Fixes for minor installation problems. Changes since 3.23: * Added `-ignorant' option to `maze' hack. * Updates to `critical', `bsod', `xflame', and `flow'. * Added support for Kerberos 5 (via its Kerberos 4 compatibility layer.) * Fixed a bad leak in `xteevee'. * Updated `webcollage' to handle recent Altavista URL format changes. * Removed xscreensaver-demo's `Ok' and `Cancel' buttons, since they were confusing people: all changes are now instantanious. * Made xscreensaver-demo install itself into the Gnome Control Center. Changes since 3.22: * Fixed some misplaced text fields in the Motif version of xscreensaver-demo; fixed a crash in the Gtk version that would happen if the programs list was empty. * Fixed a recently-introduced bug in `pulsar'. * Made `sierpinski3d' use solid tetrahedrons instead of points. * Added `-trace' option to `xmatrix'. * Added new hacks `xteevee' and `xspirograph'. Changes since 3.21: * Fixed some bugs in xscreensaver-demo. * Rewrote the Motif version of xscreensaver-demo to match the new Gtk version. * The Athena toolkit is no longer supported. Changes since 3.20: * Tweaked the xscreensaver-demo UI (Gtk only.) * Fixed a few visual selection bugs. I think the proper GL visual should be used with nVidia systems now. * Made the Makefiles obey $install_prefix. * Made the `xscreensaver.spec' file able to generate both GL and non-GL packages simultaneously. Changes since 3.19: * Added new hacks `ripples' and `sierpinski3d'. * Made `xscreensaver-command -exit' be silent when no screen saver was running (instead of complaining.) * Made `webcollage' and `vidwhacker' use `xloadimage' when available (in addition to `xli' and `xv'.) * Improved memory usage in `petri' and gave it a hard cap on how much memory it can allocate. * Added `-watch' option to `xscreensaver-command'. * Made `xscreensaver-demo' come up with the most-recently-run hack selected by default. * Rewrote the Gtk version of `xscreensaver-demo'. It's a lot easier to use now. * Extended the format of the programs list in the .xscreensaver file, for the benefit of the new capabilities of `xscreensaver-demo'. NOTE: you might want to delete your ~/.xscreensaver file and allow it to be re-created! The old one should still work, but xscreensaver-demo won't be as pretty. Changes since 3.18: * Fixed gcc dependencies in `bumps' and `ccurve'. * New hack, `extrusion'. * Some of the web sites that `webcollage' was using as its sources changed formats; tweaked it to understand the current layouts. * Added typeahead in the password dialog: if the screen is locked, and you unlock it by typing a character, that key will be automatically inserted in the password dialog (unless it is Return, Enter, Space, or a non-printing key like Shift.) * Made `xmatrix' take a `-small' option, since some folks with tiny screens prefer a smaller font. Changes since 3.17: * New versions of `shadebobs', `lmorph', and `distort'. * Added `ccurve', `blaster', and `bumps' hacks. * Replaced `forest' hack with a rewritten version. * Worked around a Xinerama server bug. * Fixed a bug I introduced in 3.10 that caused some hacks to print out superfluous warnings about not having gotten enough colors. * Made `sproingies' obey the `-delay' option. * Fixed a portability bug in `shadebobs'. * Made `webcollage' and `vidwhacker' use `xli' in preference to `xv', if it is available. * Added a new source of images to `webcollage'. * If running under KDE, xscreensaver will add itself to KDE's list of screensavers (via xscreensaver.kss.) * Improved detection of GL libraries. * Made the password dialog include the date and time. Changes since 3.16: * New version of `webcollage' -- deals better with corrupted images, and can use an http proxy. * New hack, `xsublim' (run it in the background, rather than adding it to the programs list.) * The xscreensaver daemon was leaking a file descriptor each time you edited your .xscreensaver file. Fixed. Changes since 3.15: * New version of `shadebobs'. * Improved image selection in `webcollage', and sped it up slightly. * Made configure find the right version of perl. * Rewrote the CGI part of `webcollage'. * `make clean' was deleting some things it shouldn't. * Fixed a typo in the default programs list. Changes since 3.14: * Added `webcollage' and `shadebobs' hacks. * Added a `-stdout' arg to `vidwhacker' so that it can be used in a pipeline. * Made `petri' use less memory. Changes since 3.13: * Various improvements to the Gtk port. * Turned off PAM by default on Solaris, since PAM seems generally to be misconfigured out-of-the-box. * Made the `--without-gtk' configure option work. * Made configure check the Gtk version number, since it requires 1.2. * Fixed a bug in the code that attempted to prevent changes of screen resolution while the screen is locked. * Fixed a race condition in `xscreensaver-demo' that could cause an X error at startup. * Added `-transparent' option to `deluxe'. * Added `petri' hack. Changes since 3.12: * Ported `xscreensaver-demo' to Gtk. * Made it possible to build Motif, Gtk, and Athena versions of `xscreensaver-demo' in the same directory without reconfiguring. * Made `xscreensaver-demo' chase symlinks before writing the .xscreensaver file, so that if .xscreensaver is itself a symlink, the underlying file will be replaced instead. * Some Makefile and configure tweaks for Solaris and FreeBSD. * Made it possible to set the fire color in `xflame'. * Made transparency work in TrueColor (for `goop' and `qix'.) * Fixed a multi-head bug introduced by the virtual viewports stuff. Changes since 3.11: * Made it so that you can't scroll the screen while the lock dialog is up (with XFree86 virtual viewports.) * Fixed a bug in `flag' that caused bob's chin to get cut off after a few iterations. Changes since 3.10: * Made `xjack' be black-on-white-ish, so that it looks less like a computer screen and more like the typewritten paper it's supposed to be. * New version of `pulsar'. * Fixed Solaris compilation problem in `phosphor'. * Made xscreensaver notice XFree86's virtual root window hack, so that if the X server's root window is larger than the monitor's displayable resolution, the screen saver will limit itself to the area that actually appears on the screen. * Made the xscreensaver daemon do a better job of picking the visual class that should be used for GL programs. Less user intervention should be needed now: you can use the logical visual name `GL' instead of having to figure out by hand which one to use. * Oops, the visual was defaulting to "best" instead of "default", because the .xscreensaver file was not being loaded quite early enough. * Made configure figure out how to build icmp ping support into the `sonar' hack automatically. * Made warnings about not being able to read shadow passwords not be printed if compiled with PAM support. * Improved PAM startup diagnostics. * Worked around the Solaris PAM bug that was causing crashes there, so now PAM is turned on by default. * Made configure detect the number of arguments that pam_strerror() takes, since on Linux, this apparently changed between 2.0 and 2.2, sigh. * Made the /proc/interrupts kludge look for "PS/2 Mouse" as well as "keyboard". * Made xscreensaver notice when there has been a sudden large jump in wall-clock time, and if so, lock right away, instead of waiting for "lockTimeout" to expire first. (Laptops need this for safer recovery from ``hibernation.'') * Added `-throttle' option to `xscreensaver-command'. Changes since 3.09: * Added `phosphor', `xmatrix', and `pulsar' hacks. * Fixed a bug in the color allocator that sometimes caused `starfish' to fall back to monochrome. * Reduced the amount of code that runs before root privileges are disavowed: "normal" and "shadow" passwords now do some initialization as root, but the PAM and Kerberos authorization schemes will be initialized while running as "nobody". Supposedly this closes a potential security hole when using Kerberos. * Added some more sanity checking to configure. Changes since 3.08: * Added `compass', `squiral', `xflame', `wander', `spotlight', and `critical' hacks. * Added some new modes to `decayscreen'. * Made `deluxe' work in monochrome. * Generalized usage of the Double-Buffer server extension in several hacks (`compass', `deluxe', `interference', `kumppa', and `moire2'.) * Fixed another visual-depth problem in `rd-bomb'. * The screen saver will now defer blanking if neither the keyboard nor the mouse could be grabbed. Instead, it will just try again in a few minutes. This fixes a bad interaction between xscreensaver and programs like VMware that hold the mouse and keyboard grabbed for a long time. * Added a new erase mode (expanding spiral.) Changes since 3.07: * Fixed some bugs in my port of `t3d'. * Added `penetrate' and `deluxe' hacks. * When linking against Motif 2.x, also link against XPM. * Added support for using /proc/interrupts for idle detection on Linux. Now xscreensaver shouldn't kick in when the user is active on a non-X virtual console. * Upgraded to autoconf 2.13. Changes since 3.06: * Configure tweaks (sometimes -lXmu wasn't getting linked in properly; check for _Xsetlocale in -lXintl.) * Portability fixes for sonar.c. * Fixed a compilation problem when you have GL but don't have XPM. * Made configure notice when MesaGL requires -lpthread. * Made `flame' ignore SIGFPE (not sure if this is the right fix; it seems only to be needed on FreeBSD.) * Kludged `rd-bomb' work on visuals that are of depth 24 but that *do not* support pixmaps of depth 32. * Fixed `halo' to work properly in TrueColor. * Changed `xscreensaver.spec' to install the hacks in /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/ by default, since that's where recent Red Hat distributions put them. * Added `t3d' hack. * Updated versions of `crystal', `hopalong', and `flow' from xlockmore. * Imported `demon' and `loop' modes from xlockmore. Changes since 3.05: * Oops, the "default-n" visual descriptor was broken; it was always installing a colormap if the `installColormap' preference was set, meaning that `xearth', `xv' and friends were using the wrong colors on 8-bit systems. * Turned off HAVE_PING in `sonar', since it compiles on some Linux systems, but not others of similar vintage... Changes since 3.04: * Fixed an off-by-1 in `distort'. * Added `sonar' hack. * New version of `glplanet' (with stars.) * Made all hacks exit when you type `q' or `ESC' at them, and made them obey the WM_DELETE_WINDOW ClientMessage. * Fixed a nonfatal buffer overrun in lament (note: lament still doesn't work with MesaGL 3.0: it dies in lambda_textured_triangle1(), which is Mesa's bug, not mine.) Changes since 3.03: * Added an `xscreensaver.spec' file, to make it easier for other folks to generate RPMs. * Made the password code work on HPUX in the situation where: ``enhanced security'' is available; but not used; but the user typed a password more than 8 characters long anyway. FTSOHPUX. Changes since 3.02: * Made locking work when passwd aging is enabled. * Added support for PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules.) It is still turned off by default, though, since it doesn't seem to work on Solaris 2.6, and has been behaving erratically on Red Hat 5.1. * Made each possible authentication method be tried in turn until one succeeds; this means that Kerberos is being used, we will first check Kerberos, and if that fails, will then consult the local password file. Likewise with PAM. * Save and restore the bits under the passwd dialog, to avoid leaving a black rectangle behind when unlocking is cancelled. Changes since 3.01: * Not everyone has sys/select.h, sigh... Changes since 3.00: * Some fixes to `reflect'. * Configure tweaks. * Made it log unsuccessful attempts to unlock the screen to syslog. * Fixed a bug where `xscreensaver-demo' could be seeing a different programs list than `xscreensaver' did. Changes since 2.34: * The xscreensaver daemon no longer links against Motif or Athena: demo-mode and the preferences panel are no longer built in to the daemon, but are now handled by an external program, `xscreensaver-demo'. (I decided that this, along with the recent addition of the `.xscreensaver' config file, justified bumping the version number to 3.00, since this is a fairly major architectural change.) * Lines in the `*programs' resource may now begin with the character "-", meaning "don't run this hack." In this way, it's possible to disable a hack without throwing away the information about it (making it easier to change your mind later.) Eventually the preferences/demo mode GUI should represent this as a checkbox or something. * Fixed a short race condition where it was possible for xscreensaver to die with a BadWindow error if it was blanking the screen just as another window was being deleted. * Made it possible to disable specific modes in `bsod'. Changes since 2.33: * Fixed a bug that was making `pipes' generate way too many valves. Made the viewpoint in `pipes' be selected randomly instead of always being -10 degrees. * Fixed a bug in the XSHM code, in the case where the server supports the XSHM extension but is not the same machine as the client. * Made `rd-bomb' default to taking up the whole screen. * Made it not try to do fading/unfading if no PseudoColor visuals exist. * Initial attempt at supporting VT-locking (doesn't work yet.) * Eliminated the `captureStdout' resource; now `captureStderr' controls both streams. * Added `-capture-stderr' and `-no-capture-stderr' command-line arguments. * Added `glplanet' hack. * When a hack is selected with `xscreensaver-command -select', that hack will be used until further notice (until the saver turns off, or another activation command is issued.) Changes since 2.32: * Made `xscreensaver-command' print error messages: the xscreensaver daemon now responds to ClientMessage events by writing a response message on a window property, instead of just writing to its stderr. * Made the ~/.xscreensaver file be automatically reloaded when the file date changes. * The password dialog and splash screen no longer depend on Motif or Athena. This should clear up a number of focus problems, and is the first step on the path toward moving all of the Motif/Athena/whatever code out of the xscreensaver daemon, and into external processes. * Don't complain about LessTif 0.86 any more, since the new password dialog makes that problem go away. * Configure tweaks for Irix 6.5, SunOS 5.something. * New `-reflect' option to `distort'. Changes since 2.31: * Added reading and writing of a ~/.xscreensaver file, so that the Preferences panel can save its settings. * New version of `rubik'. * Added `-select N' argument to `xscreensaver-command'. * Oops, left out some of the `bubbles3d' files... Changes since 2.30: * The cursor was invisible in the password dialog. Fixed. * Made configure warn against MesaGL 2.6. * Fixed X error at startup when using non-default visual. * New version of `crystal', `ant', and `atlantis' from xlockmore. * New hack, `bubble3d'. * Added some new modes to `bsod'. Changes since 2.29: * Changed the order in which -lSM and -lICE are linked to be after Motif instead of before (Lesstif on Irix needs this.) Changes since 2.28: * Work around a bash bug in configure. * Tweaked HPUX paths again. FTSOHPUX. * Made configure recommend against LessTif 0.86, due to a bug in that version that causes a security hole in the screen locking code. LessTif 0.87 will fix it. * Made all of the `--with' options to `configure' accept a directory option as well (so that --with-motif=/FOO will add -I/FOO/include -L/FOO/lib). I believe this is the Configure Party Line of how do to such things. * Fixed a bug where the mouse was left un-grabbed after the first time the graphics hack was changed (simplified all of the mouse-grabbing logic.) * Maybe possibly perhaps made `vidwhacker' really not leave stray xv windows around. This time for sure. * Added a new erase mode (random dots fizzling out.) * Added `-prefs' argument to `xscreensaver-command', that brings up the Preferences dialog directly (it seems that nobody ever noticed the `Preferences' button on the Demo Mode dialog, maybe this will help.) * Added a splash screen. Turn it off with *splash:false. Changes since 2.27: * Better macsbug text in `bsod'. * New version of `distort' with many new modes. * Plugged a leak in `coral'. * Tweaked configure for HPUX. * Removed some compiler warnings. * More consistent usage of stderr versus stdout. * More diagnostics should an X error occur. * Fixed a possible crash in SGI-specific unfading code. Changes since 2.26: * Improved version of `distort'. * Made `lament' compile against OpenGL 1.0 (though it still requires 1.1 to work properly.) * Updated my email address and home page. Changes since 2.24: * Improved motion in `rd-bomb'. * Added XSHM (shared memory extension) support to the `distort', `interference', `moire', `rd-bomb', and `swirl' hacks, which speeds them up a bit. * Added `lament' hack. Changes since 2.23: * Tweaked the order of the -L options again. * Cleaned up configure's `--help' message. * Added `kumppa' hack. * Smarter maze-solving algorithm in `maze'. * Took `xlyap' out of the default list of hacks, since it's just incredibly buggy (and slow.) Maybe someday someone will fix it... * Added `distort' hack, but didn't add it to the default list (yet) because it's still too slow. * Made the Athena demo dialog look more like the Motif version; it has a text-entry field now, too. * Made the Athena password dialog echo asterisks, like Motif does, instead of using a flyspeck font. * Some random configure tweaks. * Added a `timestamp' resource that makes the `-verbose' messages include the time at which they were printed. Changes since 2.22: * The fix for SGI's ``scheme'' nonsense broke things, and let the user's "*background" resource show through. Fixed it in a different way. Changes since 2.21: * Added support for the DPMS server extension (Display Power Management System.) * Made configure advertize the `--enable-subdir' option a little more, since that seemed to cause some people stress. Also, made that directory be built into the xscreensaver executable, as a hardcoded prefix to $PATH. (Might help, shouldn't hurt.) * Made configure prefer the two-arg gettimeofday to the one-arg version, since AIX doesn't have any prototypes. * Made it work with Xaw3d (the 3D Athena library.) * Made `make install' create directories as necessary. * New version of lmorph from Sverre. * Added `crystal' and `discreet' hacks from xlockmore. * Added a new mode to `bsod'. Changes since 2.20: * Made `xscreensaver-command -time' use different words. (It now describes the two states as "screen blanked since..." and "screen non-blanked since..." instead of "active since..." and "inactive since..." which a lot of people interpreted as meaning the opposite of what was intended.) * Improved some error messages, in the hopes of making the distinction between the xscreensaver and xscreensaver-command programs more obvious. * Rewrote (and reorganized) parts of the xscreensaver and xscreensaver-command manual pages. * Renamed xscreensaver's `-lock' command-line option to be `-lock-mode', to avoid confusion with the `-lock' option to xscreensaver-command, which does a totally different thing. * Removed xscreensaver's `-demo' command-line option for a similar reason; use `xscreensaver-command -demo' instead. * Disabled SGI's ``scheme'' nonsense in a better way than fully-qualifying the background colors in every single hack. * Fixed some other minor cosmetic problems when *sgiMode is turned on. * Fixed an X error in `bsod -root' (how ironic...) Changes since 2.19: * Fixed a bug that caused the mouse to sometimes not be grabbed properly (meaning the window manager menu could pop up over the demo-mode display.) * Fixed a bug that made the stderr output sometimes get printed twice. * Fixed a bug that made the demo-mode scrollbar move too fast. * Protected against a possible buffer overflow. * Made `vidwhacker' not leave stray xv windows around. * New version of `ant' so that Bagley doesn't calve. * Make configure on AIX get XShm from the right library. Changes since 2.18: * One file was missing from the tar file. Fixed. Changes since 2.17: * Oops, atlantis wasn't being built by default. Fixed. * Added `epicycle' hack. * Added `interference' hack. * Added `truchet' hack. * Added `bsod' hack. * Added some new modes to `vidwhacker'. Changes since 2.16: * Added a -window-id argument to most hacks, so that they can draw on arbitrary externally-provided windows. * Synched with xlockmore 4.11a01. * Added `flow' hack. * Added `atlantis' GL hack. * Renamed `puzzle' hack to `jigsaw', since xlock already had a different mode called `puzzle'. * Made it self-configure properly when Motif 2.1.0 is being used (requires -lXp now, sigh...) Changes since 2.15: * Made `flag' able to do XPM images. * New look for the xscreensaver logo (`xroger'). * Fixed compilation error on Suns with adjunct passwords. * Got multi-architecture builds working again. * Some configure tweaks for building on HPUX and Solaris. * Fixed bug in decayscreen. * Fixed typo in passwd.c. * Made `cynosure' not die when colormap is full. Changes since 2.14: * Added `cynosure' hack. * Added `moire2' hack. * Tweaked `erase.c' some more. * Made unfading a bit smoother. * Added `vidwhacker' hack (not installed by default.) * Added `stairs' hack. * Split `escher' into `cage' and `moebius', as per xlockmore. * Changed subprocess handling to use sigaction() instead of signal() if it's available (this is necessary for SCO but should work fine on other systems too.) * Various other tweaks. Changes since 2.13: * Better fix for the Motif drag-and-die lossage. * Put in some kludges to work around a LessTif bug. * XScreenSaver is known to work with LessTif 0.82 now. * Made fading work on high-end SGI video hardware. * Fixed another SGI-specific bug in screen grabbing; will the madness never cease? * Fixed another crash in `xlyap'. Changes since 2.12: * Made `decayscreen' do directions other than down. * Improved `puzzle'. * Fixed a crash in `xlyap'. * Added CDE info to the man page, removed `cde.txt'. * Configure tweaks for Zippy. * Turned off the signal handling in `bubbles' because it was sometimes failing to die. * Added `hacks/xscreensaver-sgigl.c' to make it possible to run SGI's ElectroPaint hack (/usr/demos/bin/ep) with xscreensaver. Finally! * Fixed a buffer overrun in the locking code that some wily, malicious cracker must have slipped in. * Disabled Motif drag-and-drool in the dialog box buttons, since it's broken in some old versions of Motif. Changes since 2.11: * Added `README.debugging'. * Added `puzzle' hack. * Added `xlyap' hack. * Added `default-n' as a visual name, so that one can have -install on by default, but turn it off for certain poorly-behaved hacks (like xv.) * Added support for grabbing frames of external video (on SGI) to the screen-grabbing hacks (decayscreen, slidescreen, slip, blitspin, and puzzle.) * Improved look of tiles in `slidescreen'; fixed its color allocation problem. Changes since 2.10: * Tweaked `blitspin', added it to the default list. * Added `lissie', `mountain', `triangle', `worm', `rotor', and `ant' from xlockmore. * Updated `sierpinski', `galaxy', and `lisa'. * Thickened the lines in `braid' and `lmorph'. * Updated VMS makefiles. * Renamed `fract' to `vines'. * Added `xjack' hack. * Made a few more hacks use erase.c, and added a few more wipe styles. * Fixed compilation problem with Sun's version of OpenGL. * Added ability to use sigaction() instead of signal() to work around a SCO kernel bug.
